Menu
I'm very new to all of this and am trying to build this website, but the main image on the page is not centering. I've tried all sorts of centering things but they don't work. Also, the width percentage is ignored too.
I've readjusted margin/padding to 0. don't know what it could be.
css for the picture:
#pictures img{
width:"70%";
margin: 0 auto;
padding-bottom: 80px;
padding-top: 20px;
}
and the html div that has to do with it:
<div id="pictures">
<img src="img/homepage.png" alt="HomePage"></div>

- Stack Overflow Why doesn't margin:auto center an image? The div expands to 100% as it should but the image does not center itself. Why? Because your image is an inline-block element.
Another way to center an image is by using the margin: auto property (for left-margin and right-margin). However, using margin: auto alone will not work for images. If you need to use margin: auto, there are 2 additional properties you must use as well.

To center inline —default for image— or inline-block elements, just center it as text. This means, you will need to use text-algin on the parent element:
div#pictures {
text-align: center;
}
The other solution is the one from @One Trick Pony, and display the image as a block element and just then apply the automatic margin.
